Is my monotub destroyed??? please help
    #21514684 - 04/07/15 11:39 AM (9 years, 1 month ago)

Hey first post here and im in the process of my first monotub. Well all was going ok until cultivation when I didnt use a trashbag. The tek I used didnt say to but I was reading online and it seemed necessary. So once cultivation was at 100% i tried to pick up the mycelium to lay a bag and it kinda broke. Now im scared, am I boned?

The bag is to stop side pinning from light exposure and for easy clean up. I suggest just covering the bottom 3 inches of your tote with black ductape and gently places the mycellium back into the tub if it's not if it's still possible to fit it back together. If it's crumbled, you can use it as spawn (assuming it's fully colonized) for another couple monotubs but expect to see contams after the 2nd flush most likely. Good luck!

And yeah, you can spray it to keep up it's humidity. But one time should be good

You mind as well take that tub to the police station and turn yourself in for shroom abuse. Just tape the bottom up like weil said and only mist the walls if the condensation dries up. You will still get fruits if you have it dialed in correctly, just be patient.

Ok cool thanks guys! Its not crumbled it only kinda snapped down the middle. It fit perfectly in place so I think I should be good besides some bruising of the cake.

Light has absolutely nothing to do with side pins. The reason side pins form is because as the substrate consolidates and shrinks from the container, the area around the side of the sub and container will be the optimum humidity for pin formation. Pins generally form where the humidity is highest, like the gap between sub and container. Tape on the outside of a tub will do absolutely nothing to prevent this high humidity micro climate that pins love to form in. What will stop this high humidity micro climate is lining your sub at the time of spawning with a trash bag. As the substrate consolidates and shrinks, the liner trash bag will shrink along with it, preventing the high humidity micro climate from ever being formed. I repeat, light has nothing to do with it. I use CLEAR liners and bins, and I get no side pins.

No worries, buddy.

It's important to keep the info floating around these parts as correct as possible. :thumbup:
